When the sky of Vesmir became dark crimson, the people of Vesmir was amazed by the phenomenon they are seeing. After a while million of stars twinkle around the moon, slowly turning the dark crimson sky to its original azure color.

Chapter 6 - First Hunt(2)

Argus continued hunting until his adventurer card vibrated.

[Hunt Wild Chickens(G)100/100]Completed

"One Quest, Check."

Argus is still continuing to hunt since this is not only his purpose but to level up. Also there are two other mission that he needs to complete.

The free stat that awakeners receive per level up varied. The lower the rank of their class the lower they receive since every person has every person has different potential. For the beginner realm, common and delete awakeners receive 5 to 6 free stat per level, while special and unique class receive 8 to 10 free stat per level up.

Also every time they broke a major realm the stat they will receive including mana will varied depends upon their potential and how solid there foundation before reaching the next real realm.

Argus did not add a sign his free stats since his Stats are enough for the time being. Argus Spear wielding also began to improve. If you look at his chicken hunting, it looks easier to hunt and kill Wild Chicken but if a normal Awakener especially a close combat Awakener will be in a pinch since a Wild Chicken is a speed type monster.

Argus's weapon which is a spear, has a big advantage in hunting them. Aside from the distance, the speed and damage of aArgus is enough to kill a chicken as long it hit the chicken.

Argus also know this so he choose this Quest on the Quest Board at the Adventurer Guild. The same can also be said for the other two of his quest. Argus hunted 200 Chickens for 3 hours. The reason for that was the chicken is scattered throughout the forest. It's already 11:00 A.M so he plans to rest and eat his lunch.

There is no valuable thing about the chicken aside from his meat so Argus did not collect anything and just started killing. The Adventurer Card records the kill count of any Awakener so they will not worry to memorize how many monster they have killed. Suddenly Argus received a notification from his status window.

Normally every being in the universe can only form their core at the Mana Core Forming Stage. The condition is to reach level 15, you cannot level up if you do not form your own core. However, there are exceptions to this, there are special being that has special constitution that has already formed their core after just being born like the slime.

It does not mean that they are strong though. Argus then fired another bullet again and this time he target the core of the slime.

Argus look on the direction where he heard something moving. Strangely enough he did not feel any danger from that direction. A horned rabbit pop his head inside a bush. Argus did not immediately kill the rabbit and just observed. He can easily kill the rabbit since it was weaker than him.

Argus hunts until dusk. He continued hunting even if his quest was already completed and he leveled up twice. He also saw other Awakener of his age hunting the same monsters like him. They tried to invite him to a party but he declined or even ignore them.

A single party can be form up to 6 member. There are of course advantage and disadvantage of being in a party. Argus of course did not plan to have a party for know and he didn't know when. Also he did not easily trust other people.

There are different types of group in Vesmir. Starting from smallest to the biggest which is:

Party, Team, Phalanx, Brigade, Legion, and Army.

A party composed of 6 members.

Next to a party is a team, which composed of 10-15 members or 2 party.

Phalanx which composed of 8 to 10 teams.

Brigade is composed of 4 Phalanx.

Legion is composed of 10 Phalanx.

Armies composed of 10 legions.

The four big families of the human race may have a minimum of two to three armies of awakeners. This does not include the hidden ones. And that's only for the head of the family. It does not include the armies of their subsidiary families.

Fortunately, Argus did not get into a fight while ignoring and declining their invites. When the dusk comes, Argus was also finish resting so he decided to go back to submit his quest.

Looking at the slowly darkening forest, with his eyes it looks like it is still a day but Argus still decided to return. He also wants to experience hunting at night however now is not the time. He has no defensive equipment and did not prepare for it.

'And it's only my first day, there are many chances in the future.'(Argus)

He's not rich unlike Rex, so he needs to think how to spend his hard earned money wisely . Now that he's awaken as long as he did not die, money will come at him easily. Of course the prerequisite is that he needs to become strong to earn money.

Argus was thinking about his friend Rex. If he asked him to lead him money or to give him weapons and armor, probably Rex will immediately lend him some money without question. It's not that he does not want to borrow money but it is not needed currently.

Argus saw the lights in the tall walls of the city. Stopping for a bit and thinking of what happens today which sure he can call an interesting day. Unlike in school that you only needs to sit in listen to what the teacher talking, what happened to the makes his blood boil.

'The thrill of fighting, leveling up and becoming strong is addicting.'

He thought.
